For those of you that are into desert racing the Baja 1000 is going on right now. November 16-18

You can listen to live feed from the "Weatherman". If you are familiar with the Baja race or you have seen the movie Dust to Glory you know who the Weather man is. More or less he is the head of emergency communications. Right now they have 4 streaming audio feeds. Unfortunately only 2 of them are working right now (Loreto and La Paz). Loreto is in the middle of the Baja and La Paz is the finish so there isn't much chat right now. They should be getting the other two feed up soon....hopefully!?!?

You can also track the cars/buggies/bike via satellite paired with Google earth.

This one is currently down, but Cameron Steele has been doing short clip updates frequently over the past few days and is expected to continue to do it from his Trophy Truck.

Jesse James is debuting in a new Porter built Trophy Truck. Apparently James blew the engine yesterday while pre-running/testing. The West Coast Choppers crew pulled the engine out, and it was flown to California to be worked on. It was back early this morning and the truck was running again by 5:30am. The West Coast Choppers Trophy Truck made it to the AM Tech Inspection and will be ready to race later today.

"It’s certainly going to be a special challenge and something I’ve wanted to try for a long time," said Button.

"The idea of 20-plus hours racing off road is so different to anything we’ve done before, and having watched hours of on-board already, the different types of terrain that we will encounter look unbelievable!”

“Driving this truck is like nothing I’ve ever experienced: we’ve only had very limited mileage testing off road but it feels like we need to learn everything from the beginning again."

Button and his teammates will undertake an initial warm-up event next month when they contest the Mint 400 in Las Vegas.

"The Mint 400 is the biggest off-road race in the US so I’m really looking forward to getting out in the desert in Vegas and seeing what it’s all about," he added.

The Baja assault is the second Rocket Motorsport project to be announced.
